Compared to all point guards. He can't shoot at all yet he shoots considerably more than the average point guard, and isn't a very good passer or rebounder to compensate for it (nor does he avoid turnovers).

They are pretty much just acknowledging that its a rivalry. The Heat have eliminated the Celts from the playoffs the last couple of years so of course there's some animosity there (especially from the Celtics side). I wouldn't expect anything else from the Heat if the roles were reversed.

I actually kind of like it because I'm tired of the buddy-buddy club that the league has become. Nothing wrong with saying, "They are our rival. We don't like them. We want them to lose".

I agree on building on the rivalry, and slowing down the "everyone is friends" league bs.

What Paul Pierce said is what is expected from a rival. What Jason Terry said on the other hand is a little offensive. We'll see soon enough next week though so no worries! : )
